We plan to do around Oz for a year or so with two kids - they are now only 2 and a half and 1 year old so we have time now to plan and work when is best to go.
If anyone has travelled with kids and has a viewpoint on what age is best for travelling and how they got around any school issues then love to hear your thoughts. We could go just before they start school or later and take them out for a year.

Hi
Don't stress about taking the kids out of school. We have done it several times, for a full term, last time daughter was in year 9. Learnt a lot more travelling to
Cape York than sitting in a class room. Worked O/S for 6 months (kids 5, 11, 13 yo) and while they went to local school, kids again learnt more about life than staying at
home by the TV. All have now completed degrees so my view is that this was very positive for their development.
We got them to write and keep a diary but even the teachers were not concerned about missing a term.
Go for it and have a great time
